/bzt rong/ (
Usenet,
Internet) From a Robin Williams
routine in the movie "Dead Poets Society" spoofing radio or TV
quiz programs, such as *Truth or Consequences*, where an
incorrect answer earns one a blast from the buzzer and
condolences from the interlocutor. A way of expressing
mock-rude disagreement, usually immediately following an
included quote from another poster. The less abbreviated
"*Bzzzzt*,
wrong, but thank you for playing" is also common;
capitalisation and emphasis of the buzzer sound varies.
